We are repeatedly told that American schools are failing, that colleges are not teaching, and that the students of today are not as good as the stu
30、dents of the past. There are, of course, problems with the education system. Because of economic inequality some schools are significantly better than others and the ideas of equality of education and equality of opportunity are cruel jokes. However, the mere fact that there are some serious problem
31、s does not mean that all the dire claims are true. One stock (陈腐的 ) claim is that America has fallen behind the world in education in terms of performance on various tests. While the fact that America is behind other countries is a point of concern, there are at least three points worth considering
32、here. The first is the above-mentioned economic inequality which will tend to result in poorer performance when taking the average for America. The second is that many countries have put considerable effort into improving their education systems and hence it is worth considering that Americas declin
33、e is also due to the improvement of others. The third is the matter of the measures do they, in fact, present an accurate picture of the situation I am not claiming that the data is bad. I am merely raising a reasonable concern about how accurate our picture of education is at this time. Another sto
34、ck claim is that American students are doing badly on standardized tests. While there is clearly value in assessment, it is reasonable to consider whether or not such tests are a proper and adequate measure of education. It is also worth considering whether the puzzle with these tests is itself caus
35、ing damage to education. That is, as teachers teach for the test and students learn for the test, it might be the case that what is being taught is not what should be taught and what is being learned is not what should be learned. 【小题 1】 According to the professor, many peoples attitude towards Amer
36、ican colleges is . A negative B positive C approving D indifferent 【小题 2】 What does the underlined word “dire” in the second paragraph mean A Exact or precise. B Extremely serious or terrible. C Fair or objective. D Long and boring. 【小题 3】 Judging by the text ,the claims are centered on . A what sho
37、uld be taught in the American classroom B fair judgment of American education C American students performance on tests D an accurate picture of American colleges 【小题 4】 The passage is written mainly to . A defend American education B show dissatisfaction with American education C explain why America

39、e past.可知，这些言论都是负面的，因此人们对美国大学教育的态度是消极的（ negative），所以答案：选 A。 【小题 2】 B 词义 猜测题。 根据第二段 he mere fact that there are some serious problems does not mean that all the dire claims are true.可知，作者并不同意这些所谓的 dire言论，所以可以猜测 dire指 “极端的，糟糕的 ”所以正确答案：为 B。 【小题 3】 C 细节理解题。根据第三段开头句子 in terms of performance on various te
40、sts和第四段开头句子 American students are doing badly on standardized tests.可知，这些言论都是集中在学生在考试中的表现。所以答案：选 C。 【小题 4】 A 写作意图题。纵观全文并结合上面的几个题目可以得出本文作者的写作意图是在为美国教育辩护。所以答案：选 A。 考点：考查议论文类阅读 Matt Haimovitz is 42 and a renowned cellist (大提琴手 ) in the world. He rushed into the classical music scene at the age of 12 af
41、ter Itzhak Perlman, the famed violinist, heard him play. But nothing in his family history explains where Haimovitz got his extraordinary talent. And thats typical, Ellen Winner, a professor says. “People are fascinated by these children because they dont understand where their talent came from. You
42、 will see parents who say, I wasnt like this, and my husband wasnt like this. It seems to sometimes just come out of the blue,” Winner says. Its not clear whether a prodigys （天才） brain is any different from the brains of other children, in part because there have been no study comparing the brains o
43、f prodigies to those of average people. “But I believe that anything that shows up so early, without training, has got to be either a genetic or some other biological basis,” Winner says. “If a child suddenly at the age of 3 goes to the piano and picks out a tune and does it beautifully, that has to
44、 be because that child has a different brain.” Children who are extremely gifted tend to be socially different, too, Winner says. “They feel like they cant find other kids like themselves, so they feel strange, maybe even like a freak, and feel like they dont have anybody to connect with. On the oth
45、er hand, they also long to connect with other kids, and they cant find other kids like themselves.” As Haimovitz got older, he became frustrated. He wanted to play other kinds of music but felt constricted by the image and the expectations of the boy prodigy who played classical music and filled con
46、cert halls. “When you start that early, you suddenly start to grow up in public, and I wanted to experiment,” Haimovitz says. So he took his cello into punk rock clubs and coffee houses. He played Bach, Haydn and Hendrix. “My teacher was Leonard Rose, and we never played any 20th-century music. He d
47、idnt like it. But once I was exposed to James Marshall “Jimi” Hendrix, Miles Dewey Davis El and others, I couldnt really turn back. I wanted to know more,” he says. 【小题 1】 According to some parents, prodigies extraordinary talent . A comes unexpectedly B is inherited from parents C results from hard
